yarmuth: when it comes to the fiscal cliff, republicans and democrats have one major thing in common, we both believe tax rates shouldn't go up for 98% of americans and 97% of small businesses. the difference is the democrats won't use them as bargaining chips. we have filed a discharge petition to bring to the floor legislation that preserves tax cuts for 98% of americans and 97% of small businesses. it has already passed the senate. the president has said he will sign it immediately. less than a month away the clock is ticking, and if house republican leadership is wondering when in our pressing schedule we might fully consider 24 legislation, they might rethink their astonishing decision to cancel house business on thursday, one of the few days congress has left in the current session. mr. speaker, we know what we must do and it might come as a surprise we agree on a solution. all that's left is to vote. i urge my colleagues to sign the discharge petition and vote immediately to keep middle class tax rates from going up. i yield back. soy much -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentle

jon: so if these talks fail, and we go over the fiscal cliff, do both sides share in the blame equally? >> i don't think so. i think it is likely that the house republicans and even senate republicans, even though they're in the minority in the senate are going to get more of the blame but it depend on what kind of view you're taking here if you're a republican. i don't think it would be wise for them politically to take just any deal to avoid political blame for the fiscal cliff because it could cause them more internal problems looking ahead to 2014. and if you're looking from a philosophical point of view where substantively republicans believe in things and think certain things are better for the economy and the country, they will be in a weaker position to achieve any of those things. but they have to take into the consideration the idea that everybody's taxes will go up january 1st if there is no deal. it is not going to be all on the president's shoulders. in fact most of might be on theirs temporarily and for good. they have to decide what is the better position. and you know,
